“Soft Green” is a small acrylic
painting that was created with several sessions of painting. During
the first session brush work was applied and then non-contact brush
work was applied. The paint that landed from this “splash” on
areas where there was paint would blend and mix to create soft washes
of acrylic paint. After the paint had been applied it was set aside
for a few hours to dry. Then the areas that were still wet would be
worked with a natural sponge to remove the paint. This would leave
rings of paint with clear circles in the middle.

After the paint dried more work would
be done the next day. A layer of clear polymer was applied. The next
layers of paint would respond differently than those on the untreated
paper. A few hours after each painting sessions some of the wet paint
would be removed. The paint that was applied on the surface after the
clear acrylic polymer had been applied would remove without any
staining, unlike the first coat of paint. After the clear polymer had
been applied it would be easier to remove any paint that was not
working well with the painting during the painting session. Water
could also be added to areas where the paint was to thin it more,
then remove the paint in part of the thinned areas to give a wash
effect like with brush and ink. A painting like “Soft Green”
would take several days to complete with several work sessions during
each day. The goal of such a process is to produce an effect that
gives an effect like it is a soft liquid of colors floating in a
glowing pool of light.
